WASHINGTON — Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., will meet with House Speaker Mike Johnson Monday afternoon before making a push this week. to force a vote to impeach the speaker on the decision Billions of dollars in aid go to Ukraine.
The meeting requested by Greene will take place at 3:30 p.m. ET, two GOP sources familiar with the plans said.
At a news conference last week, Greene vowed to file a motion to vacate the speaker’s seat this week — a move that would force every House member to take a stand on Johnson’s future.
This is the second time in the past year that a Republican has forced a vote to impeach his party’s speaker; In October, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., forced one a successful vote to unseat then-Speaker Kevin McCarthyJohnson, R-Calif., steps in to replace him.
Johnson and his allies are expected to defeat Greene’s efforts with this in mind Democratic leaders said last week many of their rank-and-file members will support the “table” motion or kill the motion to vacate it.
